I have a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium. I too run four 7581a power tubes and love them. Better bottom end & sweet midrange than el34b they replaced. Not as much power as gold lion kt88.. but more musical imho. I do not feel the need to invest in... 
Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass?
I love building kits. This is a great sounding little amp. I’ve built 3 of these. First I built two to run as mono. But found that a single running in stereo was really enough and sounded just as good with an efficient set of speakers. So I sold o...

What loudspeakers do you have your Primaluna amp paired with?

Which Stands for Magnepan LRS (and other models): Mye, Magnariser, Sound Anchor, etc
Hi.. I have 1.7s and Mye stands improved their sound. I ALSO made some 2 1/2” oak platforms to anchor the Mye stands on and lift the panels slightly. To position the speakers I move/adjust the oak platforms placement. To my ears it solidified the ...

PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS
Hi .. Maggie’s = Magnepan Speakers. They’re a panel speaker with a reputation for needing lots of power. But my Prima Luna drives them no problem. 6550 winged C are a power tube. Similar to Kt88 power tubes. Best of luck in your search. Cheersk 
Power Amp advice
Hi.. I’ve been running my Maggie 1.7 with a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium. Drives them no problem. I know. I didn’t believe the big audio store down in MPLS when they told me the PL would. So I went with the 100wpc Rogue Cronus Magnum.  Long story s...
